Toyota Prado / Meru 3.0d 125

The Toyota Prado / Meru 3.0d 125 reaches 60 mph in 13.57 s (100 km/h in 14.43 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 19.77 s, tripping the lights at 71.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.41 s and the eighth mile in 12.90 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Pick who it runs against, then watch it happen — and change the surface, the weather or the distance and run it again.

About the Prado / Meru 3.0d 125

The 1996 Toyota Prado / Meru 3.0d 125 is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 1,815 kg with 123 bhp, which works out at 68 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 3.41 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 13,916th quickest to 60 mph, and the 291st quickest of the 311 Toyotas here. Its 71.6 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Toyota Prado / Meru 3.0d 125 0-60 time?
The Toyota Prado / Meru 3.0d 125 reaches 60 mph in 13.57 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 13,916th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Toyota Prado / Meru 3.0d 125 quarter mile time?
19.77 s at 71.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 12.90 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.41 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Toyota Prado / Meru 3.0d 125 have?
123 bhp and 1,815 kg, which is 68 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 166 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Toyota Prado / Meru 3.0d 125?
Closest here on pace: Dacia Dokker 1.6 MPI LPG 85 (13.52 s), Daihatsu Move 1.0 55 (13.55 s), Ford Figo 1.2 71 (13.65 s). Each one can be raced against the Toyota Prado / Meru 3.0d 125 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Toyota Prado / Meru 3.0d 125 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
